Breast augmentation might be a real necessity in the future. Is anyone else remorseful about the loss of their boobs? I've already lost a cup size and could probably stand to lose a little more but, they've been a big part of my life since the 3rd grade before I was ever pudgy or fat. They'll never be the same.

The NP told us that if you drink before eating you run the risk of not being able to eat your meals and obviously eating what little you can at this point is important. Also, if you drink too soon after a meal, then you end up flushing the food you ate and will get hungry sooner, eat more and ultimately fail at losing weight.

Well the very first time I remember it was with eggs. Which I thought was weird bc the first time I had eggs it went fine. I tried them again and it still didn't work out so I've given up on eggs. It might just be some things don't agree with me or it might be I'm eating too fast. Or it might be the reintroduction of foods. I'm not entirely certain, I just know I can't survive on mashed potatoes, nor do I want to. I like mashed potatoes, but they're quite boring after a while. I try to chew everything to mush at all times. Sometimes I just think it doesn't matter and my sleeve is temperamental. It absolutely does not like cold food that's meant to be hot for instance.

I didn't actually have the ice cream. Opted for the sugar free ice pop when we got back instead. Thanks for all the suggestions.
The journey continues.

Thanks Wablue. Congrats to you! That sounds like a wonderful idea. So far the sleeve is great. The usual ups and downs. My job pays in full plus benes while I'm off so there's no point not taking advantage. I start mushy and moist tomorrow and I've never been so excited. What are some of the things you plan to eat during that phase? I'm very much looking forward to a new me. Officially I'm down 14lbs. Unofficially 18. But I'll have to wait three weeks for my next doc visit for any more info bc my scale refuses to move and I'm pretty sure it's wrong bc the docs readings were different. How are you doing so far?

Anyone in NY/NJ working their way through the process right now? I was sleeved on July 17th and I'm off work until September. I'd love to meet someone in a similar situation and share war stories possibly meet up. I work downtown Manhattan and live in Jersey City just so you get an idea of location. Anyone in close proximity looking for the same please respond. Thank you in advance.

I've experienced this. Usually if I bend over and haven't had enough liquids. I don't think, actually I'm pretty sure I'm not getting enough liquids. It's my goal to do a better job with that starting today. And I find if I start the day with Protein I'm better off. I'm not at the stage where I need to get 60 or 70 oz. Yet but even just the first ten oz being Protein helps me a lot.

What's the name of the book? Maybe I can search for a copy.

I'm definitely dreading this. I have super thick hair and hope that will help to minimize the appearance of loss. I've been taking Biotin for over a month now since was before my sleeve took place last week. Seems like it's just one of those things I'll have to endure. But if it grows back healthy I guess I can deal with it.
